OVERVIEW

Brief Synopsis

Lieutenant Kelly, an unconventional U. S. Army officer, captures a German colonel and brings him back to American headquarters for questioning. Hoping to learn the location of the German Army's supply of liquor and women, Kelly instead discovers two gold ingots hidden in the German's uniform. Further questioning reveals information concerning 14,000 more ingots worth $16 million being held in a nearby German bank. After deciding to "appropriate" the gold, Kelly and his men enlist the aid of Crapgame, the manager of the supply depot, to provide the equipment necessary for the robbery. Next, Kelly recruits Oddball, an eccentric young soldier who has stolen two Sherman tanks. Meanwhile, Field Commander General Colt, who has been listening to the radio communication setting up the operation, believes the group is on a heroic venture and sets off to join them. The unorthodox mission is finally launched, and Kelly and his men reach the bank at the cost of many German lives. A sole German remains protecting the bank, but he is persuaded to join in the robbery. Kelly's men then take the gold and leave the military victory to General Colt.
